Notes

[1]This note was apparently written in connection with a sitting
of the Narrow Council of People’s Commissars on December 18,
1919, which discussed a request from the Moscow Gubernia
Executive Committee for the cancellation of a circular of the People’s
Commissariat for Internal Affairs on the use of church buildings
for school purposes. The Narrow C.P.C. resolved to reject the
request of the Moscow Gubernia Executive Committee, and to
direct the People’s Commissariats for Education, Justice and
Internal Affairs to draft a relevant instruction and submit it
to the Narrow C.P.C. by December 29, 1919.
